Even with a group of good athletes the volleyball team just couldn’t get a winning streak going and ended its season with only two conference wins.

The Warriors were on the road during spring break when they played L.A. Pierce College.The Warriors won the first game 25-19 but lost in the last three of the match 25-22, 24-26, 23-25.

“One of their players was talking under the net and woke Pierce up,” assistant coach Richard Blount said. “They got more and more confident during the game. They succeed and beat us pretty good.”

The team had previously defeated L.A Pierce but couldn’t overcome the Brahmas this time around.

“We beat L.A. Pierce before, but this time we didn’t play the way we should have,” Chris Schugt said.

L.A. Pierce stepped up during its game against the Warriors and avoided ending the season without winning a single conference game.

“We were doing good but then they started to come out with their game to back us down. We tried to give all that we had,” Jonathan Arakaki said. “I doubt it’s because of spring break, I think it’s just personal reason that we lost.”

Ryan Hall led the team with 13 kills, eight digs and four blocks. Landen Tusieseina also contributed 11 kills, two digs and five blocks. Ryan Carter added in eight kills, five digs and five blocks.

Prior injuries had an impact on some of the players, ultimately making hard to focus on the game.

“I tried hard, but I just can get through,” Tusieseina, who is still suffering from his past injuries in the shoulder, said.

The injury also kept Tusieseina’s out of the game against Santa Barbara College last Wednesday which the Warriors lost 14-25, 20-15, and 15-25.

“Santa Barbara was strong, they are fighting for a playoff spot and we are trying to knock them out. So I think they might have been playing harder than we are,” Ryan Hall said.

Had the Warriors won their final two games the outcome of which teams qualified to playoffs would have been different.

“Santa Barbara was very focused, they didn’t waste a second, but we didn’t manage to respond well,” Blount said.

The top three conference teams were Santa Barbara, Santa Monica and Moorpark College who qualified directly into the playoffs.

“We got a lot of good individual athletes, but they could never put it together,” coach LeValley Pattison said.
